My current plan is to use the channels.conf file much like a frequency table in analog TV. xawtv's has tv station list with all that meta-information like hotkeys. That list just maintaines a reference to the tuning information, i.e. something like "channel = E4" for the analog tv (which the frequency table will map to a frequency). For DVB I just need a some ID (first column of channels.conf file?) I can put into the tv station list and which I can use as reference to find the tuning information. > The information is really hierarchical.

Why? repeating doesn't hurt much as the table is autogenerated anyway (and small enougth that we don't have to care about the memory it takes), and a flat structure is easier to handle ...
